To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JACOB lVIAYER SCHAT- zEL' and GEORGE N IGHOLASSOHATZEL, of White .House, in the county of Lucas and State ofOhio, haveinvented an Improvement in Lamp-Chimney Cleaners, of which the followingis a specification:

The nature of our invention relates to an improvement inchimney-cleaners of that class wherein a pair of crossed arms or levershave a pad of any soft fabric secured upon the end of each arm, ourobject being to so construct the device that it will be available forcleaning the outside as well as the inside of the chimney; and tothisend it consists in the pecuiiar construction of the curved arms from asingle piece of spring-wire, and the combination therewith of acompressing-ring, as more fully hereinafter set forth.

Figure 1 shows the manner of using the cleaner upon the exterior of alamp-chimney. Fig. 2 shows the manner of using it on the inside of thechimney.

In the drawing, A represents a piece of sprin gwire bent flat uponitself at the middle of its length, exceptjustat the bend, which isopened a little. Atubularhandle,B,is then slippedover the ends as farasthe openingofthe bent middle portion will allow. The wire at the outeror long projecting ends is then bent outward at a right angle from thehandle, which keeps the latter in place, and then the ends are bent tocross each other, each being inserted in a pad, 0, of tufted cotton orother soft fabric. An open ring, D, is slipped on the wires where theycross, and its open ends are then closed together.

By sliding this ring toward the pads the I latter will be broughttogether to facilitate their introduction into a lamp-chimney, after,
